Blanket Chest

My girlfriend asked me to build a Blanket Chest that we could put at the end of our bed. It Measures 36″wide x 15″deep x 19″ high. Its made out of Birch wood, and finished with “ODIE’S DARK” oil. After the project was completed, we were both happy with how well it turned out. So we decided to keep it at the front door instead and use it as a bench.
